TIE SCHOOL BOARD hill fcr the Dis
trict Of Columbia provides for twenty
four trustees or members, three from
each Of the eight existing school divi-
sions, at least one of whom shall be
woman. The Board, as thus constituted,
would consist Of sixteen men and eight
women, which Is certainly as liberal a
recognition of the sex as the most ad-
vanced reformer could ask. The Board is
clothed with plenary powers as to the
management of the schools, the ap-
pointment of superintendent and super
vising principals, and estimates of ex-
pcnditure Tor all purposes. Tho mem
bers Of the Board are to be appointed by
the Commissioners and the Commits
sioneys have also the power OF removal.
The relations proposed are in
short similar TO those exist
ing in many places between city
councils and boards of education,
tho final authority rs to appropriations
resting with tho legislative branch Of
the Government. TnE CRrric has al
ways believed that in regard to the pub
lie schools Of tho District the Commits.
sioners have been shouldered with
rather larger load than they ought to
bear in addition TO their other onerous
duties. They have succeeded remark
ably well under the circumstances, but
a well-organized school board might be
luade OF great and useful assistance.

Baroness Burdett.Coutts.

heard yesterday the true story of
the reasons which led to the remark
able marriage Of Baroness Burdett-
Coutts to Ashmcad Bartlett, of Phila-
delphia. There never has been any
satisfactory explanation of this mar
riagc The Baroness was over 60 at
the time Of the wedding. The bride
groom was less than 30. | saw the
two at the opera the other night The
Baroness is stout, heavy-faced, Ger
man-looking woman with q kindly eX-
preston. Her brown hair shows as
yet little signs of grey. She was
dressed in black, and wore small,
white lace cap on the top of her head.
Her husband is fresh-faced, young
looking man. He is n blonde with
regular features. His face is smooth
shayen, with the exception of a red
dish brown mustachc. The husband
and wife were accompanied by a very
hauGsome-looking, slim, proud-appear-
ing brunette with blush black hair,
and the most lovely fresh complexion.
She was in white, and & We but little
attention to the husband of the Baro-
ness. He was very attentive to his
wife, paying her about the same deyo-
ton that an affectionate son would
pay to his mother.
/ have heard that the explanation of
this marriage is TO be found in the
reading of the win of the Duchess OF
st. Adams This will provides that
all of the great property of Coutts,
the banker, which was left by him to
his wife, the Duchess above mention
ed. should descend to the Baroness
Burdett-Coutts, subject to the follow
inc conditions: If she married and
her husband attached the name OF
Bmdett-Coutts to his, then that would
constitute him the heir in direct line
to his wife, and that in the event OF
her death and his subsequent mar
rage, if he still retained the name OF
Budett-Coutts, the children OF this
second marriage would become the
heirs, to the exclusion of any of the
other relatives. 1t is said that the
Baroness Burdett-Coutts fell out with
her relatives and that this marriage
was simply the result of Il well con-
sidered plan to defeat by any posi-
bility this great property ever going tc
any of them. Ii is said that the mar
riage that she has made with young
Ashmead Bartlett is q marriage in
mere name. She selected him on nc
count of the belief that she herself
would live for many years. She
wanted young man reasonably GER
tain to outlive her, and Yet be young
enough to marry again. When she
dies, if he carries out the agreement
already made with her, he will marry
as soon afterward as possible. so as to
provide for a family of heirs which
will cut off every one of her present
relatives. The Queen, who used to be
very friendly to the Baroness Burdett-
Coutts ON account of her great chart
ties, mover approved of this marriage
and has not been on friendly terms
with her since ~, c. Crawford, IN the
